Reuben & Helene Dennis Museum
After more than 50 years we have come to the end of the Beth Tzedec Reuben and Helene Dennis Museum.
However, the core of the collection, The Cecil Roth Collection, will stay in Toronto in our leading museum, the Royal Ontario Museum, commonly known as ROM, where these cherished objects will help to continue educating Torontonians on Jewish culture.
A well- chosen group of mostly ritual objects from the collection are being kept at Beth Tzedec and will be displayed in the Hendeles Chapel and the new multiuse room (formally the museum), as well as two unique Torahs and accompanying ritual objects that are in the tall cases in the foyer.
